VB9 Tragic Ball at Colombey
Somewhere in the Somme area, France, June 1940.
This scenario is not based on actual historical facts. The purpose is to create an interesting situation to play from a player’s point of view, not to try to simulate historical reality. That’s why you will not find historical datas on this scenario card, except those that present an interest for the game.
VB10 The Agony of Doom 2
This is a remake of the famously unbalanced scenario The Agony of Doom (previously issued as A8 and republished in Beyond Valor 3 as ASL 136).
There are many changes in this new version: new mapboard (24 and 42 instead of 3 and 5), shorter time schedule (7.5 turns instead of 9) and some changes in the Orders of Battle (especially the russian one, which is increased by a powerful reinforcement group.)
So playing this one is a completely new experience if you have already played The Agony of Doom.
